New CAPTCHA now required before posting

[Myleschetty]

Looks like it's all spammers here. 

Not everyone here is a spammer! Some of us are genuinely interested in cultivating a positive reputation and contributing to constructive discussions. 

From what I notice I believe only users who are able to solve the "New Captcha game which is said to be required before posting are those that didn't have the "This user is a suspected spammer!" above their posts.
See Meser# as an example.

At first, I was wondering how I was given a red tag for spamming but letter do I know that it was just fun, although thanks for the thread as this is my first experience on this.

Finally, I’m part of the 99 coins club.

I did not found this game until last year and on my phone I could only get 7 or 8 coins, but on a PC thanks the keyboard this is way easier, still the game is pretty unforgiving as a single mistake makes you to start all over, still it was fun.

For those that may still like to see if they can get 99 coins I can give the next tips.

Forget about the coins, you can always get more as long as you do not crash, concentrate on surviving.
Concentrate on the upcoming floor pipe.
The pipes have two sections, the thinnest and the widest one, most of your clicks or keystrokes should be around the approximate height in which those two sections join on the next floor pipe.
If you feel like you are too close to the floor pipe and you are about to crash then try to delay your click or keystroke until you are closer to the ground, this will make the bird to fly for a longer distance and create space between the bird and the floor pipe, while at the same time it will improve your angle and diminish the chances of crashing with the sky pipe.
If you feel like you are too far away from the floor pipe then give your click or keystroke a little bit earlier, this will make the bird to fly for a shorter distance and shorten the distance between the bird and the floor pipe.
Grind.

Getting 30 to 60 coins with this strategy is easy but getting 99 coins will require that you grind a little bit.

At first I was afraid because it was totally strange to me. When I saw the "This user is a suspected spammer!", in the midnight in the Utopia application, I was like "what have done to received such serious tag from the system software and thinking all ways to remove it from the post but there was nothing I could do.

So what did was to check others users in the forum in different boards and I came the discovery that it was not only me but many so my fear was released a bit. Then later I checked the news feedback and I saw the "New CAPTCHA now required before posting" and I read everything to understand it. Then the application which I have deleted because of fear was reapplied and I play the game for like 10 times and finally succeeded and submit the application and the red warning sentence disappeared. I really love the game but it is not good with phone and majority of the forum users use phone.

It seems impossible to pick 20 coins without hitting the bars, talk more of 99.
This is a rare conception that appears annually. Now if I'm to make that more clear, it's simply the fun that connects, reunites and shows to everyone, what stuff they're exactly made of,..and at the end, it's still the fun yunno.
We were all fooled, happy 1st April!!

Damn, you're really asking to collect 99 coins to make post? It' simply cruel. I rather would join spammers club. My best attempt so far was 5 coins. And there is so much pain when you manage to go through pipes, but fail to take coins .
theymos, what a great April Fool's Day prank! And now I'm trying to imagine what if it's not prank?

[un_rank]

Posting my reply here now after just a few minutes of passing the captcha, I am required to pass another 99, which looks so ridiculous to me. 

It takes a lot of effort to prove you are not be a spammer.

If this will really stand, I could have suggested it's been done and pass one every 24 hours. It will really reduce the stress and put things on the right track.

I can take a wild guess that your stress would be gone in a few hours and we can all spam with no judgement.

The most I managed to get was 7 and its no easy game to play I must say. Having to concentrate on the speed at which the bird is flying and at what point its projectile motion is bound to go up and down while passing through the pipes. I didn't get it at first but, its challenging and couldnlead to some addiction for a day if we pick up the challenge. There isn't anyone that could make required quota. I'll like to have someone try!
With hourse to go, all the drama on the forum is about to subside. What a way to generate traffic and entertain the ever serious users on bitcointalk. Probably not the best prank from Theymos but, it does okay.

Just something I noted!
The game didn't pop up using browsers that permits you to view posts up ahead while typing right beneath. Don't know if you guys get the point but, that's some free pass.

I don't know, maybe I'm just getting old, but in my childhood these kind of games looked much more easier. I'm trying to play it now and it reacts to every mouse click so sensitive, it's just impossible.

It wouldn't be fair if I didn't put my own bird-piloting skills to the ultimate test before this is all over with. Wow, 99 coins had me sweating bullets!

I think theymos finally caught the bird.
So sad

[jeraldskie11]

I really hate this game before, not until it's required before posting .
I have to train myself so that in future it would be easy. Before, it was so hard to get pass 10 but now I almost got 99

I don't like seeing "This user is a suspected spammer!" above my post.

April fools!

Thanks to PowerGlove for creating this cool game. I was really impressed that he was able to create it from scratch in less than a month with no dependencies and in only about 21kB. Thanks also to the mods who helped test it.

Here are the "high scores", though keep in mind that there were cheaters. karmamiu performed the best on every metric, and it doesn't look to me like he cheated.

i got 9 legit but im not on the list

I did everything manually sir thanks for the recognition  . There's no reason for me to cheat, I just wanna prove that I can play along with your April fools' prank hehehe. As I've said yesterday, I'll beat the system and actually did it.
